Climbing career

In 2018, 14 years old, she won the Japanese Lead Climbing Championship and placed second at the Bouldering Japan Cup in Tokyo.[6][7]

Mori made her debut at the international senior level in 2019. She managed to win both a bronze medal in lead climbing and bouldering in the Climbing World Cups.[8][9][10][11] Later that year, in the World Championships, she also managed to place third in the category lead.[5] Being 15 years old at the time, this made her the youngest Japanese climber to stand on a world championship podium. Akiyo Noguchi previously held that record with her 2005 bronze medal in lead climbing, which she won while being 16 years old.[12][3]
